“I

’ve had a really good journey through Vegas, but you know what they say—there’s no place like home.”

Afrojack is returning to Wynn Nightlife in 2018, ready to spin at XS and Encore Beach Club. We recently caught up with the superstar DJ and producer to talk about his homecoming—he was a Wynn resident from 2011 to 2013.

c k a c k

What about the current club and music culture on the Las Vegas Strip made this the right time to go back to Wynn? It’s where I grew up, where I started and what I feel I really need right now. XS is still the [place] to test new tracks and feel the vibe of the current [musical] situation in America.

But it’s not just the clubs; it’s the property. Every time I’ve been at Encore or Wynn during EDC or any time of year, I always feel there’s a lot of culture spread across the dancefloor. There are a lot of people from New York and LA and other places heading to Wynn, and that’s a big translator for me to see what’s going on in the music scene. I’m doing a lot of experimenting with hip-hop and

more crossover stuff, and this is a great place to do more of that. That’s how those songs get created; we kind of mash up everything we experience at the clubs.

You’ve released so much new music the past three months. Have you been more prolific in terms of creating lately or are you just putting stuff out more often? I’m just putting more out there. I have five singles coming in January. There used to be more pressure to put out big club records and focus on more big, commercial singles, because that’s how the labels make money.

But I need to stay true to myself, and it’s going really well. I’m getting all types of feedback. I think I have around 400 songs ready to go on my laptop, so it’s just about making the selections of which ones will be out over the next year. –Brock Radke

ne of the most successful headlining productions of the modern era of Las Vegas Strip entertainment is coming to a close on New Year’s Eve. It was this time of year in 2013 that Britney: Piece of Me made its debut at the Axis at Planet Hollywood, originally set for a two-year run of 100 shows. Britney Spears’ worldwide fanbase, however, wanted more.

When it concludes, Piece of Me will have notched 249 shows in Las Vegas and more than 900,000 tickets sold (according to a Billboard projection).

Spears’ show—a musical and visual spectacle that combines elements of a concert tour with the full-on fabulous excess associated with traditional Strip productions—will be remembered as the next step of the resident headliner trend ignited

by Celine Dion in 2003. Conventional wisdom would have Britney returning to the Strip for another run in the coming years, perhaps after an album and tour cycle; her 2016 release Glory generated some new hits and acclaim she hadn’t received since 2008’s Circus. Plus, the pop star has gushed about how much she loves perform-

ing in Las Vegas. Spears and Axis grew into an ideal pairing, as will be demonstrated with four more shows.

Britney: Piece of Me at the Axis at Planet Hollywood, December 27, 28, 30 & 31. –Brock Radke

pend some time this holiday season with your #TranceFamily when the legendary Christopher Lawrence brings the warm vibes to counteract the chilly Vegas winter.

We caught up with the veteran artist, who stops by the Sahara Lounge on December 23.

A lot has changed in the world of trance music. Critics said it was dead for a while, but now it’s back and bigger than ever. Trance had been the biggest sound all around the world for probably 10 years. But like everything, people want to hear something a little bit different. And the [difference] was EDM and that big-room EDM sound has dominated, especially in Vegas. Nobody wanted trance for a while there, and it’s really nice that it’s come back.

You’ve been playing massive festivals like Dreamstate in recent years, but you’re playing an intimate room here in Vegas. What kind of set will you spin? When you play a club and it’s more intimate, you can play stuff that’s got more subtleties. You can play tracks that are more delicate or have more finesse. You can play a sound that is more diverse.

t r a n c e V e g a s

Your Pharmacy imprints are releasing a steady stream of new music from fresh artists. I would meet people when I was on the road and they’d hand me CDs—back when there were CDs. I would bring it back to my studio after the weekend and just be blown away that this random person that I met at the show was making this really good music. That’s why I started Pharmacy Music. It was a way to put out my own music as well as music that wasn’t being put out anywhere else. As the label grew, it split. Pharmacy Music is psytrance only, and Pharmacy Plus is more traditional trance and progressive house. We’ve got stuff coming out almost every week on one or the other, so it’s really exciting. Christopher Lawrence at the Sahara Lounge, December 23.

he irreverent, all-fun Sex Tips for Straight Women From a Gay Man has defied the odds in Las Vegas. A stage sensation in New York City, the show debuted at Paris Las Vegas in May and has been drawing a diverse audience ever since, growing into one of the more unique and unexpected entertainment offerings on the Strip.

Co-stars Kendra Wilkinson and Jai Rodriguez have played essential roles in Sex Tips’ early success, but some newbies are taking over in 2018.

Beginning on January 4, Wilkinson’s role as Robyn will be taken over by

model and actress Scheana Shay, best known as one of the stars of the Bravo reality hit Vanderpump Rules.

Rodriguez’s position as Dan Anderson—the character based on one of the original co-writers of the Sex Tips cult hit book—will be handled by Chester Lockhart, an actor and singer seen on Todrick Hall’s MTV show. The new performers should pick up where their predecessors are leaving off and inject new energy into a thriving show known for just that.

“Leaving the show is bittersweet.

The producers really allowed me to expand upon the role and make it my

own,” Rodriguez said in a statement.

“I’ll be forever thankful to have been given that freedom, and I’m over the moon that two of my great friends— Scheana and Chester—are stepping into roles that I’ve always known they [were] born to play.”

You can still catch Rodriguez and Wilkinson through January 2 in Sex Tips at the Anthony Cools Showroom at Paris.

hen is a buffet more than a buffet? When an already highquality experience is upgraded with a chef-curated selection of dishes served straight to the diner.

anthony mair/Courtesy

The chef’s table concept might seem an odd fit for a traditional Las Vegas buffet, but it has been worked into some of the Strip’s biggest and best. And the new Chef’s Table Experience at the Mirage’s Cravings is affordable and accessible. You’ll gain access to the entire Cravings buffet, already one of the best out there, along with a special meal providing the kitchen’s skilled craftsmen a chance to show off.

For an additional $20, guests are seated at a special table and presented with five courses.

The meal within a meal begins with a mini caprese salad and assorted sushi, along with toasted garlic bread. From there, a more decadent salad featuring citrus and goat cheese is served alongside a lovely charcuterie and cheese board that includes

b e y o n d T a b l e

duck prosciutto and imported Spanish manchego cheese.

Entrées include an expertly prepared Angus beef sirloin with chimichurri and turkey roulades wrapped in bacon; grilled vegetables and creamy mashed potatoes act as the accompaniments. As a finale, a tableside presentation breathes new life into chocolate lava cake.

Chefs paint a white serving board with chocolate and raspberry sauces, top it with individual cakes and even brûlée some marshmallows. The flavors match the spectacle.

If you’re looking to double down on your all-you-can-eat meal, Cravings’ Chef’s Table makes for a worthy indulgence. The Chef’s Table Experience at Cravings at the Mirage, 702-791-7111; daily 4-9 p.m. –Jason Harris

s there a more versatile cocktail than the Moscow Mule?

It’s simple yet sophisticated.

It refreshes in the summer and has enough festive spice to make sense during these fall and winter holidays. And you can add just about any flavor you can dream up to the classic lime-vodka-ginger mix—it’s a cocktail canvas ready and waiting for your creativity.

Tom’s Urban, the upbeat restaurant

planted right on the Strip at the New York-New York casino, has a similarly flexible bar program serving every type of libation imaginable. And Tom’s seasonal mule mixes plenty of Christmas cheer into the recipe, pepping up the traditional recipe with a particularly sharp ginger brew, tart cranberry juice and muddled fresh blackberries and mint. Fruity, fierce and fun, the Twig & Berries mule is too good to have just one ... but too great to last forever. Head

down to Tom’s for hit of the holidays while you have time. Tom’s Urban at New York-New York, 702-740-6766; Monday-Thursday 7 a.m.-2 a.m., Friday & Saturday 7 a.m.-3 a.m., Sunday 7 a.m.-1 a.m.

ndrew Pollard is one of the most recognizable faces on the Las Vegas cocktail scene. If you occasionally enjoy yourself tippling, you’re likely to have encountered the exceptionally attired and well-coiffed mixologist—possibly with a Fernet-Branca in hand—at cocktail events and watering holes across the Vegas Valley. Now, after six years with Breakthru Beverage, he has returned to the Strip as the assistant director of beverage development at Wynn Las Vegas.

i p

n i c k C o l e t s o s / Sp e c i a l T o w e e k l y

It’s as if Pollard was destined for the role. As a teen, with the approval of some apparently very understanding parents, he built himself a fully functional bedroom wet bar for entertaining. And he’s been entertaining since his very first Rusty Nail (“I had Drambuie!”).

With a local career that has taken him from Henderson’s Al’s Garage to the Cosmopolitan’s Vesper Bar, Pollard brings a varied background to Wynn. As his roles have changed and progressed, so has his palate.

The “Fernet Guy,” as he’s known in some circles, hated that bitter amaro the first time he tried it. But because of the ever-evolving industry tradition of the bartender’s handshake—a shot shared amongst barkeeps—Grand Marnier begat

Bénédictine, which gave away to Chartreuse, then amari and finally Fernet because, “There’s nowhere else to go. It’s the end of the line.”

Pollard reflects wistfully on his Cosmopolitan days, which, he says, “changed the way Las Vegas is drinking today. We tried something different, something that hadn’t been done before, and it worked. We really took a chance.”

He’s excited about “moving the needle” on an already fantastic cocktail culture at Wynn, where he’ll be overseeing development and assisting more than 20 venues dotted across both Wynn and Encore.

He’s particularly excited about being intimately involved in the upcoming Paradise Park project.

Could a destination cocktail bar a la Herbs & Rye or Vesper be in the resorts’ future? Pollard replies with a wry smile. “It is. It absolutely is.”

Consider us excited. –Jim Begley
